Rockland extends fuel rationing

Rockland County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef today extended his Local Emergency Order limiting gasoline and diesel fuel sales in the county to 10 gallons per vehicle per day.

"Faced with a difficult decision during the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy my administration felt it prudent to limit the intake of gasoline to help Rockland get through the fuel crisis that emerged following this horrific storm," Vanderhoef said in a statement. "While the fuel crisis appears to be starting to turn the corner, state and federal officials indicated to me that additional time is needed to restore infrastructure and gas supplies."

Vanderhoef's announcement comes after an earlier announcement that New York City and Long Island drivers will face even-odd gas rationing starting at 5 a.m. Friday.
